Benefits of technology

[0020]One embodiment describes a method of preventing race conditions in secure token conversations. The method includes generating a message from a client application to a server application, determining, at a WS-SC client, that a first secure conversation token (SCT) exists, and using the first SCT to encrypt the message. The method further in

Abstract

The present invention relates to methods and systems for preventing race conditions in secure token conversations. The method includes generating a message from a client application to a server application, determining that a first secure conversation token (SCT) exists, and using the first SCT to encrypt the message. The method further includes sending the encrypted message to the server, receiving an indication that the first SCT has expired, and initiating an SCT renew request. The method includes storing the first SCT, receiving a second SCT in response to the SCT renew request, and storing the second SCT in addition to the first SCT. The method further includes retrieving an encrypted message, determining that the encrypted message has been encrypted using the first SCT, in response to the determination, using the first SCT to decrypt the message, and generating a response from the server to the client.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is related to U.S. patent application Ser. No. ______, filed concurrently herewith, entitled PROACTIVE TOKEN RENEWAL AND MANAGEMENT IN SECURE CONVERSATIONS, which is incorporated by reverence in its entirety for any and all purposes.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates generally to security. More specifically the invention relates to high-performance web services secure conversation.[0003]Presently, many error conditions in Web Services-Secure Conversation (WS-SC) exist on the management of Secure Conversation Tokens (SCT). Current implementations of WS-SC are unable to handle heavy traffic load, especially when handling the SCT bootstrap, SCT cancel, and SCT renew.[0004]Further, in WS-SC conversations between the client and the server are protected by the SCT. The SCT is a share secret that is generated by the Secure Token Service (STS) on the server side, exchanged with a WS-Trust bootstrap message, and this shared secre...
